BUDGET supermarket Aldi has launched a limited edition bottle of champagne to celebrate Team GB's success at the Rio Olympics.

The uniquely designed bottle of fizz - featuring the Union Jack flag - will be sold for just £9.99 in stores from December 1.

But to make sure it's up to Gold medal standard, Britain's victorious athletes will get the first taste of the Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut on Wednesday at Team GB's Ball.

It was the UK's most successful overseas Olympics ever after British athletes returned home with a haul of 27 gold medals.

The black-tie celebration will toast the team's remarkable success with the special bottle of bubbly.

Tony Baines, Joint managing director for corporate buying at Aldi, said: "It's an honour to serve our award-winning champagne and wines to the ball's attendees as they raise a glass to our Olympian's triumph at this summer's Games."

And in a bid to rival more upmarket stores, Aldi has been unveiled a range of stylish decorations, gifts and cookware that look strikingly similar to those offered by John Lewis – but for £293.70 cheaper.
